Wire Transmission
Twisted pair using differential signaling with a signaling speed of 9600 bit/s. Ideal wave resistance at 100 kHz is 120 Ω. Line resistance at 20 Ω/km, max 75 Ω/km. Maximum capacitance bus-to-bus line max 800 pF/m at 800 Hz. Higher capacitance requires proportionally shorter cable length. Bus power with 30 V DC and 25 mA Polarization critical. Devices within same physical segment are addressed with 8-bits Maximum 57600 network nodes. Media access control is controlled with the CSMA/CA method. Maximum segment length is 1000 m. 4 segments may be connected with line repeaters to establish a network length of 4000 m. Loops are not allowed.

If the destination type flag (DT) is set the packet will be multicast or broadcast. R2-R0 is decremented for each routing hop, like TTL in IP. L3-L0 correspond to 1-16 user data bytes. Source is always a physical address. Destination may be either a physical or group address. Logical “0” is defined as impulse under the reference level 30 V DC. Logical “1” is lack of the same impulses.
There exist an alternative interface speed at 4800 bit/s taken over from BatiBUS. But KNX TP-0 products will only operate on the same network. But not be able to exchange information with BatiBUS devices.

Famous quotes containing the word wire:
“Constantly risking absurdity and death whenever he performs above the heads of his audience the poet like an acrobat climbs on rime to a high wire of his own making.”
—Lawrence Ferlinghetti (b. 1919)
